Samsung Chromebook 4 Chrome OS 11.6" HD Intel Celeron Processor N4000 4GB RAM 32GB eMMC Gigabit Wi-Fi - XE310XBA-K01US

Perfect gift. Great for beginners.

It's more than I expected and very nice. I haven't use it yet. The set up was very easy, and fast charging. I'm very pleased so far.

Bought this when my last Chromebook just got too old and unsupported. I've had it two months and so far so good. I wish it had an SD card slot like my old Chromebook, so I am missing that. As others say, the speakers aren't especially powerful, but most of the time I use headphones anyway. The screen is super bright. That's good if using it in a bright room, but when I want to watch a movie in the low light of evening even the very lowest brightness setting is brighter than I like. The screen image also does a strange shaky thing sometimes and I don't know what's up with that. Battery life is great so far. I can use it four or five hours and not even drain it halfway. Durability seems to be good. I wish the power cord were longer.One other minor thing, the way the hinge works, when the laptop is open it elevates the back edge under the screen. I don't know if this is coincidental or if the manufacturer thinks they are being "ergonomic" by angling the keyboard, but if they wanted to be ergonomic they would be lowering the back edge and elevating the front edge so that wrists are higher than fingers, not the other way around. I don't know why the myth of angling a keyboard towards the user being good for health persists, because it's not. Angle the keyboard away to protect the hands and wrists, or just leave it flat.

My mom (over 60) needed a computer to pay bills on, and she was worried about virus protection. I figured a Chromebook would be a perfect fit for her, and she has enjoyed it a lot so far. The screen is very clear and bright so it’s easy for her to see. It only took me like 15 minutes to set it up for her, aside from the typical hiccups that come with setting up things for the elderly. (I love you mom but it’s true!)It arrived in great condition, it looks very sleek, and it’s not some monster of a laptop that sounds like a jet engine when you turn it on. I truly cannot speak to anything else when it comes to the function - it visits the electric company website perfectly. But for someone who has no desire to deal with paying bills on a smartphone screen, this is a value that cannot be beat - ESPECIALLY for someone with a fixed income. This didn’t break the bank, and I can trust that there’s no way my mom could accidentally delete System 32, so I am pleased.

Very good laptop, it was a birthday present for my daughter and she has had this laptop for 3 years and it works perfectly, 100% recommended.

I really got him this because it's cheap and does what he needs (web browsing). I set it up for him initally, and he's put it through the paces in the year and a half he's had it. It's got a ton of dirt and debris, from him eating on it and taking it outside to watch his nascar races as he smokes his cigarettes. It's taken the beating and abuse so far so that's cool. I can say he'll probably get 3-4 years out of it before he gets another one, and before it becomes obsolete, but it's great for now and does what he needs.We did have some issues getting it connect to a wireless printer, but updating it and powercycling it fixed that. Albeit, if you don't know how to troubleshoot, many people might give up. This isn't specific to this brand, but the the Chrome/Google OS in general. I sometimes think an iPad would've been better for him, and I think that's what'll want next. He was a laptop user his entire life, and as long as he can play his words with friends, smacktalk on facebook, and watch youtube videos and browse fourms. He's happy. It does it snappy enough for him to not complain. It's worth a buy for the price.

lol I know you might be thinking, "i have low standards, I just want something cheap and the Amazon reviews say it's...okayyyy." Don't do it.(1) Screen quality - which I did not care about at all - is equivalent to a first generation Game Boy. If you know what that is, you know that sucks. If you are too young to know, holy smokes this screen will shock you to your very core.(2) Doesn't properly DO ANYTHING - I bought this for 2 reasons: (1) to type stuff, (2) stream videos.Regarding 1:Wouldn't download word, wouldn't allow copy/paste, etc. I said "ok, I am low maintenance, I will just use Google Docs." Nope. That didn't work either lolllRegarding 2:Wouldn't allow me to sign in to any video streaming except Hulu. Man this thing is a POS.

Great for elementary school and I ready program. I give it 3 stars because after 2 years of working perfectly the battery wouldn’t charge past 50%. Other than that still works just gotta keep charger together.
